    hilarious!!!!

    i don't see what Charlie can contribute at this point. He's not even shooting well, which is the only thing he really brings to the table other than his size. So far, i don't feel like any of the players that have been bought out can help us. Most of them are having their worst seasons and appear to be in rapid decline. I don't think our roster is a championship roster, but i don't think adding one of these scrubs is going to get us over the hump. leave well enough alone (we already added a new guy), let our guys continue to gel, and let's see how far we can take this thing.

    I mean... it's great that he's eyeing the Rockets from the expensive sideline seats. Or maybe he can eye the Rockets from the suites. Don't mind the organization getting more $$.

    He has alopecia universalis, his immune system attacks the parts of his body that make hair. There are various degrees of alopecia, universalis being the worst (no hair anywhere on his body). Other than that, the disorder has no effect on his body whatsoever. I've had the same thing since I was a kid.

    I think Houston should develop TJones and DMo in the next couple of years and leave the PF spot as it is.

    Isn't he Dominican? Probably wants to play with Cisco.

    At this point Morey probably doesn't want to do anything to stifle the development of Jones and D-Mo. If a Chuck Hayes-esque veteran became available that could give you 10-15 minutes if needed and you are certain wouldn't disrupt chemistry, do it. Otherwise, I think there is a lot of long-term value in letting these guys grow together.

    And yes, I realize that means potentially jeopardizing an outside shot at a championship this year. I don't think there is any doubt that Morey is trying to pull off a "checkmate" by acquiring a 3rd star with the 2015 cap room or sooner via trade, but in the meantime he is going to stand pat for the most part and build value with our own guys.

    At this point Morey would probably sign anybody if he felt like they would push this team over the top to a championship.

    Yes, but Charlie V can't do that. At the most, a good veteran player may be able to help us get past the 2nd round. Even that is fairly unlikely.

    Not interested. Just hasn't played well since he signed that Pistons contract. Maybe they haven't used him right but I doubt it. Pass
